Compulsive personality

“When I look back at the bugs I, acting as a programmer, fail to prevent and then fail to catch, an awful lot of the time their root cause wasn’t my knowledge. It’s that I have a compulsive personality and also habitually overcommit. As a result, there’s a lot of pressure to get done. The problem isn’t that I can’t flip into an adequate tester mindset, it’s that I don’t step back and take the time.”

— Brain Marick, from blog article Security Mindset

Me too.
